The response was overwhelming and we were once again truly inspired and impressed with the high-level of craftsmanship and imagination that went into every creation.
Micro-Mark® would like to thank the many modelers who participated in our fourth annual challenge for model ship builders. Along with world renowned nautical historian and model ship authority Marc Mosko of Model Expo, we scoured dozens and dozens and dozens of entries to choose our winner.
We are proud to announce Jeff Neiderman of Newbury Park CA with his extraordinarily exceptional build of the King of the Mississippi as our Grand Prize winner.
We were also quite impressed with 14 year old Noa Bisson of St. Mathieu Québec and his Halcon Schooner build. Honorable mention goes to this budding young artisan, as well.
Congratulations to both modelers!
Will you be our 2024 Modeler of the year winner?
The first Gundam model kit, or Gunpla, was released in 1980 in Japan. Since then, the futuristic mecha characters of the fictional Gundam multiverse have taken the entire world by storm, with over two-thousand different kits and hundreds of millions of copies available to modelers across the globe.
For our 5th annual Micro-Mark Model Challenge, build ANY Gundam or mecha model kit, new or vintage, on its own, with other kits, in a diorama - the choice is yours - as long as a Gundam or mecha kit is featured. What will set yours apart from the rest? Your contest entry should display modeling skills, creativity, imagination and attention to detail.
The Grand Prize Winner will receive a $1,000.00 Gift Certificate redeemable at Micro-Mark, plus a commemorative plaque.
Also, your contest-winning model could be featured on a Micro-Mark catalog cover. No purchase is necessary to win.
Now start building!
